Father’s Day Surf & Turf Steak with Clotted Cream Peppercorn Sauce
Serves: 2Method
Step 1
Make the flavoured butter by mixing the softened butter with lemon zest and chopped tarragon. Spread generously over the halved, cooked lobster. Prepare the steak by seasoning the steaks well with seaweed salt and plenty of black pepper. Add a drizzle of truffle oil. Cook over a preheated grill to your prepared doneness – medium rare works beautifully.
Step 2
As the steak rests, top each with a generous spoonful of Trewithen Dairy Cornish Clotted Cream and extra cracked black pepper. Let it melt gently into a rich, lazy peppercorn-style sauce.
Step 3
Cook the samphire by sauteing briefly in butter and a splash of lemon juice. Plate up the steak and lobster with hot fries, buttery samphire, and a sprinkle of fresh chives. Spoon over any buttery juices and serve immediately.
